Another maritime link between Ireland and the Continent is in preparation: Finnlines has decided to open a new freight route between Rosslare and Zeebrugge, Belgium (now part of Antwerp-Bruges), providing a new direct link between Ireland and Continental Europe, which also offers an additional connection from Finland to Ireland.
The service will commence on 23 July 2022 and will be operated by the ro-ro vessel, “Finnpulp”, which has the capacity to carry 3,260 lane metres of cargo, equivalent to around 225 trailers. There will be two departures per week in each direction.
This additional service will also give industries in Finland, Germany and Spain easier access to Ireland via transhipment in Zeebrugge. (sh)
